 a\n\n			Speaker: Vanessa Di Feo (91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ)\n\n			This presentation expl
 ores the legacy of the seminal 1988 R v Morgentaler decision. Although thi
 s case was lauded a victory for pro-choice activists across Canada\, it is
  not without its flaws. Further\, its legacy is questionable when we take 
 a closer look at the state of abortion laws and health coverage in Canada 
 (or lack thereof).\n\n			Comparative in nature\, this presentation is divided
  into two main parts. The first part of this presentation explores the pat
 chwork of abortion services that persists across Canada. Upon providing an
  overview of the fragmented 1988 Supreme Court of Canada decision\, the sp
 eaker attempts to prove that the legacy of Morgentaler is\, in fact\, holl
 ow through a comparative legal analysis. She does so by exploring a number
  of cases from various provinces\, and demonstrates that even where there 
 are victories\, they are theoretical at best. This is bolstered with stati
 stical research\, which illustrates that the very state of uneven abortion
  access that led to the decriminalization of abortion in 1988 continues to
  jeopardize Canadian women’s health.\n\n			The second part of this presentati
 on attempts to explain why the patchwork of abortion services continues to
  put the lives of Canadian women at risk. The speaker considers potential 
 arguments\, and ultimately criticizes Federalism and the Canada Health Act
 ’s funding system. This is linked to the negative rights analytical framew
 ork set out in Morgentaler\, which leaves women without recourse. Ultimate
 ly\, the speaker explores other potential solutions to resolve the ineffic
 iency of this framework\, largely based on comparative law and solutions i
 n various legal jurisdictions.\n		\n	\n\n
